The Downside of Being Beautiful in Business

“You only got where you are because you’re pretty.” Ever heard that one before? As a woman in business, it feels like no matter how hard you work, there’s always someone ready to dismiss your success, as if brains and beauty can’t coexist. You get judged, sexualized, underestimated—told you don’t know what you’re talking about because, clearly, you couldn’t have earned it. In this episode, Adrianna and a therapist tear down those tired assumptions. Adriana opens up about the reality of being a woman in business, the constant need to prove yourself, and the battles fought just to be taken seriously. We’re talking about the financial grit it takes to build something real, why “get-rich-quick” is a myth, and the game women have to play to protect themselves in a world that would rather see them as decoration than competition. For every woman who’s had her intelligence questioned, her success reduced to her looks, or been told to “just be likable,” this conversation is a reminder that you belong at the table. Join us as we dig into what it truly means to be a woman entrepreneur who’s here to break stereotypes, own her value, and redefine success on her own terms.
